Buena Vista Social Club is a 1999 documentary film directed by Wim Wenders about the music of
Cuba. It is named for a danzón that
became the title piece of the album Buena Vista Social Club. The
film is na international co-production of Germany,
the United States, the United Kingdom, France,
and Cuba.
Buena Vista Social Club is the debut
album by the eponymous
ensemble of Cuban musicians directed by Juan
de Marcos González and American guitarist Ry Cooder.
It was recorded at Havana's EGREM studios in March 1996 and released on September 16, 1997, on World Circuit. Despite its success, it remains the only standard
studio album exclusively credited to the Buena Vista Social Club.
Buena Vista Social Club was recorded in
parallel with A
toda Cuba le gusta by the Afro-Cuban
All Stars, a similar project also promoted by World
Circuit executive Nick Gold and featuring largely the same lineup. In contrast
to A toda Cuba le gusta, which was conceived as a revival of the son conjunto,
Buena Vista Social Club was meant to bring back the traditional trova and filin,
a mellower take on the Cuban son and bolero,
as well as the danzón.
A critical and commercial success, the
album's release was followed by a short concert tour in Amsterdam and New York's
Carnegie Hall in 1998. Footage from these dates, together with the recording
sessions in Havana, were shown on the Buena Vista Social Club documentary by Wim Wenders,
released in 1999.
Dos gardenias para ti
Con ellas quiero decir:
Te quiero, te adoro, mi vida
Ponles toda tu atención
Que seran tu corazón y el mio
Dos gardenias para ti
Que tendrán todo el calor de un beso
De esos besos que te dí
Y que jamás te encontrarán
En el calor de otro querer
A tu lado vivirán y
se hablarán
Como cuando estás conmigo
Y hasta creerán que se diran:
Te quiero.
Pero si un atardecer
Las gardenias de mi amor se mueren
Es porque han adivinado
Que tu amor me ha traicionado
Porque existe otro querer.
